If he does - would it even be legal? A lot has happened since Beth, Ruth and Harriet last got together, with further significant developments expected before a big NATO summit next week - a gathering we don't even know if the US president will turn up to. So how did we get to the point where we're asking whether the UK will allow its ally - the US - to use its airbases? And how does the current situation compare to the invasion of Iraq in 2003?

👉 Click here to listen to Electoral Dysfunction on your podcast app 👈 A landmark bill is due to be voted on in the House of Commons next week that could decriminalise abortion for women in England and Wales. Currently, any woman who has had an abortion after 24 weeks - without two doctors signing it off - could be jailed under a Victorian law. So why has it taken until 2025 for this vote? And who are the women whose stories have led to a potential change in the law? Beth, Ruth and Harriet speak to Tonia Antoniazzi, the Labour MP proposing an amendment on the Crime and Policing Bill. Also, are we going to see tax rises in the autumn budget after this week's spending review? And is the Labour Party in turmoil over welfare cuts?
